St Piran's day celebrations

SW 7685 5638 - Once again I make no excuses for going back to Gear Sands near Perranporth for the annual St Pirans play and pilgrimage.

The people of Perranzabuloe celebrate St Piran each year on the Sunday closest to St Pirans day.For the second year Colin Retallick took on the role as St Piran.

March 2010 - St Piran

Dynnargh onen hag oll.
Welcome one and all.
I am Piran, Piran of Kernow.
I am Piran.
And you are Piran.
We who meet today are all one.
At this cross, we stand at a spirtiual place, bounded by sea, hovering between earth and heaven.

This cross symbolises our love of Kernow.
The three holes represent peace, unity and distinctiveness.

The blocked hole remembers those who have gone before us.

Here today , we are united. Linked as a people, as a nation, with a common cause to protect and celebrate Kernow.
When we leave this place, we must take with us these same vows.
Kerensa ha cres rag onen hag oll.
Peace and love for one and all.

Kernow Bys Vykken!
